Im considering purchasing the above mentioned wheelset for a new build. I'm having trouble finding information on them online. At 1080gr for the set its surprising there is little to no mention of them on this board.

They're used by Astana so they are no secret in the peleton. If anyone has any feedback on them please pitch in.

EDIT: By the way I have received a direct quote from Corima of 2900euros. A few english online retailers are selling them for 2200£ a set.

these are some of the best wheels I have owned. They are incredibly stiff, roll very fast, and have very little to no effect in crosswinds. For the weight they seems to roll forever which I like. Seems as other lightweight wheels feel as if you have to work really hard to keep the speed up. Oh and they are drop dead sexy!!!

I'm riding the new 47mm MCC S+'s and braking with the Corima pads is on par with my Zipp FC's. I don't ride in the wet [yes I know i'm soft but I ride for pleasure and not for pay] so I can't give feedback on that scenario

If you buy them, do not play around with different brake pads!!Only pad allowed is the standard Corima pad.I was told by Corima, SwissStop pads may cause burns in the rims surface layer (then those rims are smoked).

Will other pads really ruin the rims? Anyone got hands on experience with this?
